This song describes a particular event that occurred when DK went to visit an old friend in Melbourne.

The friend and his girlfriend of the time were having a bit of a rough patch in their relationship and had retired to their room one night. DK was sleeping on the couch in the lounge room and had only just gone to bed when there was a loud thump from the room next door.

In the dark, DK grabbed a notepad and a pen and, in the dark, blindly wrote the words of what eventually became the basis of the song.
